Abstract:

The fact that hi-tech prosthetics now allow amputees to live a more healthy and functional life was one of the major advancements towards researching on the technology of rehabilitation. This research presents a design incorporating certain new features and technologies that are adaptive algorithms, sensor-controlled, improved sensory and control since easy to use. Direct connection between the intentions of the user and the activities of the prosthetic can be attained using electrodes to read muscle impulses sensor-based control techniques. The tactile and proprioception sensors assist in providing the information regarding the touch and the location of the limbs, enhancing the interaction of the user and the environment. The adaptive control algorithm allows the prosthetic to suit the needs and interests of the individual using it hence providing better performance over time. One of the most significant technological changes in the field of the rehabilitation technology is advanced prosthetics, a step towards a more comfortable, natural and functional experience of amputees. Such design would make the life of people who are suffering in the means of their limbs, much better with the recent assistance and technology.
